chicky Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 The Unsullied who goes to a brothel to cuddle.I swear to God just reading that made my eyes tear up. That particular detail breaks my heart into a million pieces every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florina Laufeyson Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Yeah, that Unsullied who pays whores just to cuddle is really freaking sad. Just about everything that Septon Meribald has to say. D:Maester Aemon's speech to Jon about having to choose the Watch over his family. Ouch.Lollys in general.

Dany Girl Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I swear to God just reading that made my eyes tear up. That particular detail breaks my heart into a million pieces every time.it really does. It just shows how people are just people in the end, even when broken, mutated or castrated, we still crave love and affection :crying: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steeleshanks Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Jon smiled a strange sad smile. "And pull you hood up. The snowflakes are melting in your hair."also the 1st wolf dream (not sure if its Summer or Ghost) when they realize there are only 5 when their should be 6.

Pod The Impaler Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Arya brooding on Mycah's death ...... And no one had raised a voice or drawn a blade or anything, not Harwin who talked so bold or Alyn who wanted to be a knight or Jory who was the captain of the guard. Not even her father. "He was my friend," Arya whispered into her plate, so low that no one could hear. Brutal scene. A child understands real injustice for the first time. A girl takes a step towards the Many Faced God.When Arya wonders if her lady mother would still want her back after the things she has done.Sad, yes. A bit of childish fear, but Arya knows how harsh her actions are too. She has blood on her hands.First came to immediate mind was Penny. Parts of ADWD was really a downer due to her segments :frown5:Worst part was the description of her and her remaining friends, the pig and the dog, still thinking of performances, worried about her animals wellbeing because she is the only one who could protect them. But no one gives a damn about that, they just want to eat them, and in the end they do butcher them - if I remember correctly, even parading the poor dogs head.It was really depressing for me, for some reason. Overall her whole arc is sad.Yeah, Penny is a sad case. She deserved none of her suffering. I do not get why people dislike Penny in the story so much.She's just a normal person, as dwarves go. She is not someone equipped to deal with her tormentors, and she fears big people for how they treat dwaves already. She's young and naive too, and though she's travelled a lot, she is not some worldly and cunning highborn lady. She does her best to entertain, and by doing so, not starve. Being hunted, having friends and family get killed in some dwarf-genocide - she understands prejudice already, but not this amount of murderous greed and hatred.Penny makes for good contrast. Tyrion is well-acquanited with horror - she is not.The Unsullied who goes to a brothel to cuddle.Yeah, that was sad, in a pathetic way. No feelings, my ass. They know what they have lost by being what they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morgan1028 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 The reforging of Ice, no question. I have never felt so sick to my stomach.Agreed. Reading that made me hate, hate, hate, Twyin. How dare he! Sansa being forced to marry Tyrion and her not kneeling (which was awesome) and when she stood there weeping and no one cares.

Tommen Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 While I'm new to the forum, it's the first time I see someone pointing out Catelyn's inner thoughts, the time she actually is obligated to act differently, concealing her struggle. Her chapters in ASoS are so well written, sometimes they almost brought me to tears. I think her quotes that can make one sad are endless. Pffffff......*sigh*.Welcome to the forum! I agree. I have my issues with Catelyn but I've no doubt that she's sacrificed a lot for the good of her children. Stark chapters in general make me sad because...you know...their lives are awful.

Michael Stark Thenextwolf Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Lots of small moments in Game when you realize how young all the Stark kids are(+Jon). Bran asks Robb if there parents will ever come home and Robb says yes and Bran knows hes talking to his brother not Robb the lord. Sam tell Jon he never had a friend before and Jon says hes not his friend...he is his brother. And more the lone wolf dies but the pack survives.

Urien the Ragged Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Oh God, I NEVER caught that! That means he got Beth Cassel!?See, that's where I totally hate these books. You think sometimes it would work out for characters like Beth or Lacey or the 12 year old raped and killed by Rorge in Saltpans. I wish he'd spare some of them.

Cruella Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Beth is common name. I always assumed she died during taking of Winterfell, who was going to bother saving her from the roof? (also heartbreaking).But it is very possible also and great catch.As for subtle sad moments, too many to mention! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerolunar Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Pretty Pia covering her mouth when she smiles because Gregor punched her in the mouth, ruining her teeth. Jaime always comments on it. After showing her the head of the man who raped her, and she smiles, I imagine her covering her teeth.This. I like Pia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonel Green Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 One of Ramsay's bitches being named Beth.Where's that detail given? There's not one listed here.Edit: I was sufficiently motivated to go through Theon's chapters, and I don't see any of dogs being named Beth. The newest one is Kyra.

The newest one is Kyra.Actually now that I've thought about this, I remember reading something somewhere that specifically pointed out that the absence of a dog called Beth shows she could be alive somewhere. Although this could just mean that she's locked up in the Dreadfort minus some fingers and skin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
